Music
Fougou Jazz presents Satori at Churston Golf Club on 13th October
Satori is a Buddhist word meaning a moment of illumination or clarity. It emphasizes the interplay between practice and enlightenment, which could be said to correspond to the craft and art of improvised music.
Satori, Josephine Davies’ main solo project, released their eponymous debut last year on Whirlwind Recordings to widespread international acclaim, and are releasing their second in November 2018.
Beer Bangers & Bands at Budleigh Salterton on 13th October
The successful Beer Bangers and Bands live music concert is back at the Public Hall in Budleigh Salterton on Saturday 10 March 2018. The headline act is Firekind (aka Ride The Fire ) – a Devon based 3-piece modern rock band with soaring guitar & vocals and a powerhouse rhythm section that could fill a stadium! With their fabulous own music and covers too, they are sure to be a big attraction, but there’s even more, with support acts starting from 7pm, it’s set to be another big night in the Budleigh calendar!
